who are the palestines? what is palestine?

Question

I never understood what is palestine? why these people claimed a state in the territories of Judah and Samaria? how the Old Israel got the name of Palestine? why the palestines say the jewish dont have any right about this territory? if the jewish are the God's People then who are the Palestine? are they arabians? why they the idea of a Jewish state it's sionist? why palestine it never mentioned in the Bible? the palestines were the old hebrews? what language speak the palestinians? they dont speak hebrew?

Answer 1

Palestinians are not arabians its called arabs, they speak arabic(i think) and basically ye they had a country which is now part of isreal. It is still palestine and they fight to death against israelis for "stealing" their country. Jewish USA, invaded palestine and made it into israel, as a home for the jewes who nobody wants in their country, the filthy jews then put a fat wall all around palestine cuz they hate arabs ever since existance and vice versa.
Palestines say jews dont have right in the territiry because they fuken stole palestine and made into israel. Jewish are defnetly not gods people they are more like devil's people, they say they are gods ppl cuz they suffered thousands of years ago and because of nazis and all that.
Basically jews nowadays are not bad ppl, neither are the palestinians, but due to all the war in the past years they are almost obliged to hate each other to death.

Answer 2

The names are too old to be applied accurately to modern peoples meaningfully. Today, they are a mix of Aramaic speaking peoples descended from a wide range of groups.

"Palestinians" and the "Palestinian territories" borrow their modern name from the Roman Province, so named after the Jews went into exile around 120 AD. The Romans wanted to rid the world of the memory of the former names, especially "Israel".

The Romans borrowed the name from the former inhabitants, the Philistines, who occupied a portion of the coast of Judea for a long time.

The name "Philistines" probably comes from the Egyptian name for the settlers there, "Peleset". The most well-known references to the Peleset are in the Amarna Letters and the "Sea People's" inscription.

The Philistines who lived in Israel during and after the Exodus have now been positively identified as mainland Greeks! It seems that at the very end of the last Minoan period there was some kind of catastrophe, and there were mass migrations out of the Greek mainlands and islands in every direction. Archaeologists have been able to identify older Philistine remains in a number of ways as similar to the material remains of the cities in Greece where they started their migration.

Before this time, Philistines had the same name but possibly a different ethnic mix. The Philistines appearing in Genesis were more likely Phoenician and spoke a Semitic language.

Answer 3

A lot of questions there but I'll try to clarify as much as I'm able.

Historically (and biblically) Both the Jews (or Israelies) and the Arabs (Palestinians) were fathered by Abraham (the guy in the old testament) Abraham slept with a concubine, Hagar, and concieved Ishmael (the father of the Arab nation). His first wife Sarah later gave birth to Issac who began the Jewish nation. Throughout ancient history the land we now know as Israel belonged to the Jews, however as the middle ages approached, Saladin raided and captured Jurasalem. The area became the homeland for Arab/Palestinian nation more or less for the next couple of centuries. Then in the forties the nation of Israel formed and removed many Arab (now called Palestinian) families. They of course resented this and it has caused the modern conflict between these two great nations for several decades.

Its both amazing and sad to think that so much of modern history is shaped by this centuries old family fued.

Hope this helps to give you some perspective.

Answer 4

the hebrews are egyptian bedwins. the world hebrew is identical to arabic in semist languages; a'arab=a'bar, or hebrew, it's a well known semetic lenguistic phenomena. arab in arabic doesn't mean any thing, abar means cross or pass, so nomads were called hebrews or arabs, the people who keep crossing and passing. in the bible palestine was called the land of can'an, but at least in one, the land of the philistins, palestinians. hebrews are not can'anians, they just took their language. cannanians were civilised, hebrews were nomads when they came to palestine. israel is not a name of a land, it's the name of jacob the tribal grandfather of hebrews. then the name of one of two hebrew kingdoms in palestine. the children of israel are no more the god's people, they were cursed twice, according to k'or'an, by king david and king jesus, who were also prophets. now the chidren of ismael are god's people, the northern nomad tribes, including k'uraish. i can go on forever, but i don't think you are going to understand if you think that god's people is honour not responsibility.
